Tilly

Who doesn’t just love a beautiful dragonfly? No-one knows how old Tilly is but she is beautiful to watch when she flies, with her blue wings and brightly spotted body. You don’t always see her though, she is incredibly fast and an expert at flying! She can go straight up and down and even hover like a helicopter. She is very cautious about her wings because if they get damaged it could be quite dangerous for her. She catches all her food in the air and if she cannot fly, she will become very hungry until her wings are mended. The Elves and Pixies watch for Tilly on a school morning and know that if she is flying low, then there is a good chance it will rain, so they take their coats with them. If she is flying quite high then they know it will be bright and sunny and they might even get extra playtime in between lessons!

 

She doesn’t appear every day, preferring to reveal herself when she has a message for someone. Everybody in the Magic Wood, Grazzlethorne and the Cragbodells knows that to see her suddenly could mean a positive change is coming in their life, or it could mean there is something for them to learn. The appearance of Tilly teaches us all to have faith, even in the most difficult of circumstances and to love life. If you are ever fortunate enough for her to alight upon your body, you can be assured of deeper knowledge and a new beginning in some area of your life.
